UK-based technology company Utonomy has won a contract from gas distribution network firm SGN to supply its remote pressure control and management solution to increase biomethane feed-in at SGN’s Sheppey plant in Kent.

To date adjustments to pressures have been made manually. Utonomy can remotely change the pressures of regulators feeding the networks, ensuring biomethane injection is always prioritised over the natural gas feed-in.

SGN, which currently has 42 biomethane plants connected to its Scottish and southern England networks, aims to supply one million houses with biomethane by 2031.
